Susan Daffron talks to Liz Keller from the Glen Wild Animal Rescue, which is based in Delaware County, New York. The topic of discussion is a 6-year old shepherd mix named Spike. Liz calls Spike the "Walter Matthau" of dogs -- kind of gruff on the outside when you first meet him, but then a total marshmallow once you get to know him. Spike ended up at a local animal control facility after his owner died. Glen Wild Animal Rescue took him in to help find him a new home. Spike is one of those all-around great dogs that sometimes are overlooked by adopters since he isn't "flashy." He's a well-behaved mature dog who gets along with pretty much everyone and deserves a chance for a new home.
